Come to Life

Chapter V

"Okay, but what kind of portal?" Riley asked. "Like, a door? Or like, a portal from the video game?"

"It's a gateway between two trees," Legolas corrected her. He sighed and shook his head. "Finding it is very dangerous-"

"Ew it's Parker," Samzin exclaimed as he swaggered up to the group. He pretended to barf and was rewarded with Parker giving him the middle finger.

"Nice Parker," Christian giggled.

Parker raised his eyebrow and asked him incredulously, "did you seriously just giggle Chrissy?"

"Don't call me Chrissy!" Christian yelled. He balled his fists and made to punch Parker but Samzin stopped him.

"Calm down Christian," Samzin snapped. "Do you know where this portal is?"

Before Legolas could answer, Christian shoved Parker which caused him to fall into Samzin who pushed him towards Liv who stepped out of his way before he could crash into her. Picking himself off the ground, Parker glared at Christian and made to knee him but Legolas interceded. We all winced as Parker's knee made contact with his groin.

"Oh my gosh dude, I am so sorry!" Parker exclaimed, horrified. His hands flew up to his mouth and his eyes widened.

The group stood in awkward silence and then Legolas said, "well, the portal is someone in New Hampshire."

"New Hampshire?!" Liv smiled broadly. "I love New Hampshire!"

"It's in a mountain range there," Legolas told her. Liv's face fell and she muttered something about not liking the mountains.

"You can always leave," Christian said rudely. Parker punched his arm and said, "or you could always leave, Chrissy."

"Enough with the name calling," I finally said, rolling my eyes. "Like seriously Parker, can you not?"

"I can but I choose not to," he replied with a sassy smirk. He flipped his hair in a very Legolas-y way and said courteously, "continue, L."

"I don't want you guys to come." Legolas looked at me when he said that and I narrowed my eyes.

"L, we're coming with you," I insisted, "whether you like it or not."
